I am from Singapore and is intending to import bike into my country from India.
I have called some of the showroom dealers and they have said that they are unable to export the bike, however, one of the dealer recommend that I get a friend in India (Which I have) to buy the bike from them and then let my friend do the exporting. I am ok with that but, is this legal?
The price paid will be full amount OTR (On the road price which includes insurances, registration, tax ,etc) and it will be under my friend's name.
After purchasing the bike, my friend will use the bike to travel to his house. There, He will contact a logistics company from the same town to do crating air vacuum pack the bike. I will be sending over my local company (Singapore) to handle all exports. My friend would just need to help me with the crating, and my company will come and collect and settle the rest.
I am wondering if this is legal to do since the bike is already registered under my friend's name.
Would he have to deregister the bike and deregister the insurance?
What is the process in India.
Will be in need of your advice.
Thank you in advance!
